Acts 5:33-42 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.… The strict meaning of the verb describes the action of a saw, as in Hebrews 11:37. Used figuratively, it seems to imply a more lacerating pain than the "pricked to the heart" of Acts 2:37, leading not to repentance but to hatred. The persons spoken of are principally the high priest and his Sadducean followers (ver. 17). (Dean Plumptre.) Parallel Verses KJV: When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.WEB: But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and determined to kill them. |
